What's in Most Mascara?
 
Mascaras may contain irritating ingredients that can dry your lashes and make your eyes tear. To enhance waterproofing, plumping or making lashes appear thicker, certain polymers and turpentine may be used. Nylon or rayon microfibers may be used to lengthen your lashes. To stiffen the lashes, methyl cellulose is a commonly added or ceresin.

Mercury can also be found in mascara as a preservative. Water-resistant mascaras usually contain a chemical called dimethicone copolyol that keeps the mascara stick to your lashes, even when wet. These types of mascaras should not be used daily, but only for special occasions.Stys and swollen eyelids are allergic reactions that have been usually attributed to parabens, aluminum powder or benzyl alcohol in mascara.

How Long to Keep Mascara

It's considered safe to use mascara within four to six months and then to dispose of it. Mascara does have the capability to grow bacteria and increase the risk for eye infection, specially if you re-use it for longer than the safe zone of within 4-6 months.

* If you apply mascara too thick or without letting it dry between coats, may result in a clumpy look.

* Apply mascara from root to tip for a more uniform look.  Makeup artists recommend zig-zagging as you apply.

*  Start with top lashes instead of the lower lashes, to prevent making the lower lashes too dark.

*  Use the right color mascara for your coloring, for a more natural looking eyelashes.

*  Blinking eyes immediately after applying mascara can cause smudging.
